​On January 3, the State Board of Education voted to move the change to assessing students in grade 5 on the science assessments to the Proposal Level. There will be a 60-day public comment period on the proposal and then the state board would take up the proposal for adoption. Comments may be sent to chapter8@doe.state.nj.us.

The NJDOE will be providing additional information and resources in the coming weeks to support districts as they implement the new science assessments.
